America's most powerful labor official released a 6-word statement ripping Scott Walker

National AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka in Portland, Oregon, on May 18 speaking about the organization's concerns over the Trans-Pacific Partnership treaty. AP America's most powerful union doesn't really feel the need to elaborate on its disgust with Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin (R).

"Scott Walker is a national disgrace," AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said in the entirety of his statement on Walker's entry into the race.

It's not surprising that the AFL-CIO is not excited by Walker's presidential bid — the union has unsuccessfully done battle with the governor for years.

Since taking office in 2011, Walker has rolled back public-sector collective-bargaining rules, made Wisconsin a right-to-work state that no longer requires workers to pay mandatory union dues, and spoken out against the minimum wage.

Further enraging public-sector unions, Walker has repeatedly touted these accomplishments as proof of why he should be president.
